Hi all
I have a layout (in AD17) with a large piece of text on the Overlay layer, which sits over some component's pads. I'm trying to get Altium to trim the Overlay such that it is does not break the 'Silk to Soldermask' rule, which of course it currently is as the silk is right over the top of all the pads. If it were a polygon I could simply use a cutout, but is there anything similar for a string?
In case it's not clear from my half-arsed description, the image below is an example what I'm working with; I'd like Altium to generate the Gerbers with cutouts on the silk layer where the soldermask cutouts are such that the bit of silk over the pads, circled in blue, is not plotted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
